Where South Hammond is

South Hammond runs between the Illinois state line and Columbia Avenue, south of 165th Street. The Little Calumet River is its southern edge. It borders Woodmar, the towns of Munster and Highland, and Calumet City across the state line.

It’s overwhelmingly residential, with one commercial strip along Calumet Avenue. Several blocks are historic districts: Indi-Illi Park, Roselawn-Forest Heights and Forest-Ivanhoe.

The newest landmark is the South Hammond South Shore station, which opened on March 31, 2026 on the Monon Corridor line. It has a 1,000-space parking lot beside the Monon Trail.

The Munster line and ZIP 46321

You don’t need to be sure. In the form, type the full street address, and if you can, the nearest cross street. The address decides where the truck goes, not the town name on your mail.

Pickup notes for South Hammond

• Full street address plus a cross street, as above.
• Driveway, garage or street? Say where on the lot the car is sitting.
• Does it roll? Flat tires, a dead battery or a seized engine all change the load.
• Anything in the way? Another car in the drive, a locked gate, a snowbank from the plow.

What we buy in South Hammond

Junk, wrecked and scrap cars. The car that died in the driveway last winter, the one with crash damage, the one that won’t start at all. No title? We can still help. Here in Indiana the sale needs the title or a $4 BMV certificate of authority, and we’ll sort out which fits your car on the call.

We don’t buy running used cars for resale.
